ABSTRACT:
The picture retrieving apparatus includes: an orthogonal conversion coefficient memory13of a retrieval target picture storing an orthogonal conversion coefficient of a picture targeted for a retrieval; a picture feature amount converter2converting an orthogonal conversion coefficient21read from the orthogonal conversion coefficient memory13of the retrieval target picture into a color histogram information; and a color histogram similarity calculator4calculating a similarity42between a color histogram information41of a query picture and a color histogram information25generated by the picture feature amount converter2. It unifies the kinds of the picture feature amounts to calculate the similarity between the picture feature amounts. Thus, it can specify the picture similar to the query picture from the retrieval target picture, on the basis of the calculated similarity.
